The 75-lot subdivision, off Consaul Road in Colonie, is a pleasant, picturesque neighborhood with large Colonial-style homes; most houses measure 3,000 square feet or more and sit on half-acre lots. Manicured lawns and eye-catching landscaping designs front most houses here; it's obvious that homeowners take distinct pride in keeping their properties looking good. There isn't much raking to be done in the fall -- at least in the front yards of homes along the north side of Oakmont Terrace and homes set on inner lots along Shinnecock Hills Drive, the neighborhood's looping main street. Many kids who live in Southwinds have lots of outdoor activities to keep them occupied; more than a few homes have in-ground swimming pools, backyard jungle gyms and driveway basketball hoops. According to the 2008-09 Report Card on the Schools, 95 percent of Colonie Central graduates earned a Regents diploma. A 3,370-square-foot Colonial with four bedrooms, three bathrooms and an attached two-car garage at 12 Oakmont Terrace is on the market for $459,000, according to an online listing on listing agent Jim Barber's website (http://www.barbersellshome.com). Built in 2003, the home has a salt-water, heated in-ground pool that is fenced in, a four-season sunroom with skylights and transom windows, a finished basement with a fireplace, and a gourmet kitchen with a second oven and a wine rack. Constructed six years ago, the house has a master bathroom with a three-person Jacuzzi tub, a first-floor office, a formal dining room, a gas fireplace, a home security system, a deck and family room that is wired for speakers, an in-ground sprinkler system, an in-ground pool with fencing, and central air. ]]>

The neighborhood, conveniently located off of Vly Road in Colonie, has moderately priced three and four-bedroom Colonials, raised ranches and Cape Cod-style homes, many with attached, two-car garages that are selling from the $230,000s through the $270,000s. With most homes built on lots sized from a quarter-acre to a third-acre, there's plenty of room in the backyard for kids to romp around. Judging by the number of driveway basketball hoops in front of homes in the neighborhood, it looks like front yards are also used for fun by kids and families. According to the 2007-08 Report Card on the Schools, 95 percent of Colonie Central graduates earned a Regents diploma. A variety of gas stations, restaurants, retail and convenience stores can be found along Central Avenue and Wolf Road. Built 19 years ago, the house has a new roof, a newer driveway and landscaping, potential for a first-floor master bedroom or an in-law suite, granite counters, a wood-burning fireplace, wood laminate floors, several rooms with new carpet, an unfinished basement, granite counters in the bathrooms, and central air. Built in 1986, the house has a family room with a fireplace, a formal living room and dining room, central air, a large, fenced-in yard with a double deck, an outhouse with a recreation room and cable hook-up, and a newer water heater. ]]>
